Noel, Allison, and Kate start week 18 Streaming In Place with Avatar: The Last Airbender season three, episodes eight and nine, “The Puppetmaster” and “Nightmares and Daydreams.” The horror of blood bending, the show’s approach to trauma and pain, and of course, Momo and Appa dueling. Tune in for our thoughts and come back tomorrow as we discuss episodes 10 and 11, “The Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion” and “The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse.”

The Puppetmaster was really creepy. Manipulating Katara to bloodbend is way more disturbing than just showing bloodbending, and Hama is also relatable with understandable motives! At least they didn’t go full Cronenberg with it.
Thanks for pointing out all those references in Nightmares and Daydreams. With the Fire Nation stuff, I can’t help thinking that Iroh would have been more present in Season 3 thus far if Mako hadn’t passed away, which makes me sad.
